The United States has issued a warning that Iran is reportedly planning an imminent ballistic missile attack on Israel. This alert comes just a day after Israel announced it had conducted "limited, localized, and targeted ground raids" against Hezbollah in Lebanon. A senior official from the White House stated that there are indications suggesting Iran is preparing to launch a missile strike against Israel in the near future. In response to these developments, Israeli forces have heightened their state of readiness. The situation remains tense as the region grapples with escalating military actions and threats.

Iran's recent launch of approximately 180 high-speed ballistic missiles at Israel signifies a strategic attempt to cause significant damage during the nighttime assault. This approach contrasts sharply with the more predictable drone and missile attacks that occurred in April. The rapid nature of ballistic missiles poses a considerable challenge for interception, yet initial reports indicate that there were no fatalities in Israel and only one in the West Bank. This outcome suggests that, despite the large number of missiles fired, the attack may not have achieved its military objectives, although some missiles or their debris did impact the ground. Iran likely aimed to preserve the majority of its missile stockpile for potential future conflicts with Israel, indicating a calculated approach to its military strategy. The attack's scale would have necessitated Israel to deploy advanced and costly defense systems to counter the threat effectively.
